Cosmology of intersecting brane world models in Gauss-Bonnet gravity
arXiv:hep-th/0401221 · doi:10.1088/1475-7516/2004/04/009
Abstract
We study the cosmological properties of a codimension two brane world that sits at the intersection between two four branes, in the framework of six dimensional Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity. Due to contributions of the Gauss-Bonnet terms, the junction conditions require the presence of localized energy density on the codimension two defect. The induced metric on this surface assumes a FRW form, with a scale factor associated to the position of the brane in the background; we can embed on the codimension two defect the preferred form of energy density. We present the cosmological evolution equations for the three brane, showing that, for the case of pure AdS backgrounds, they acquire the same form of the ones for the Randall-Sundrum II model. When the background is different from pure AdS, the cosmological behavior is potentially modified in respect to the typical one of codimension one brane worlds. We discuss, in a particular model embedded in an AdS black hole, the conditions one should satisfy in order to obtain standard cosmology at late epochs.
